I have two arrays E(i,j,k) and E_2(i,j,k) in which some elements of these matrices are nan values. while, I can calculate standard deviations S(i,j) = nanstd(E(i,j,:)); and S_2(i,j) = nanstd(E_2(i,j,:)); for E and E_3, i don't know howe to calculate standard deviation for E_2(i,j,k)./E(i,j,k). i was wondering if it is possible using propegation of error (function sigma = PropError(f,varlist,vals,errs)) or any other way.
Thank you in advance

Hi Joseph,
If the second matrix(E(i,j,k) in this case) has all non zero elements(NaN allowed), then only we can calculate standard deviation of this p./q type matrix. Otherwise, the resulting matrix will have Inf in it which would result in standard deviation in NaN .
Since Inf makes the mean and other central tendencies of the matrix non-quantifiable, the result is NaN.
For matrix with non-zero elements, we can use p./q and then use nanstd to find standard deviation.
Hope this helps,
Arvind

These two matrices are measurements with the known error for each element. lets say for matrix E(i,j,k) there is an error(i,j,k) matrix. and same for E_2 matrix. I didn't mention this in my question.
